I haven’t gone to the 2nd Friday’s art walks for the past few months but now that my mom is visiting from out of town, my sister and I decided to take her there. Go eat some dinner in the neighborhood then walk around and take a look at some weird and expensive art…luckily not all of the art is weird and expensive. Also note that this last sentence is coming from someone who is not very insightful and would rather spend money on things other than art.

If you have no idea what 2nd Friday’s is, there are a bunch of art galleries centered around 18th and Halsted Streets in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. This group of art galleries and shops is formally named the Chicago Arts District. Once a month, all of these art galleries open their doors to the public and people walk in and out of them looking at the artists’ pieces. Plus, there’s usually wine, beer, and snacks in each gallery…they accept donations for them so don’t be cheap.

Tonight at 7pm, Belgravia Group’sHartland Park Townhomes is hosting a complimentary wine seminar in their model home, located at 1721 W. Schubert Avenue in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Lush Wine & Spirits brings the wine and one of their fun and knowledable employees to teach a seminar that feels nothing like a class…well, because it’s fun and I haven’t ever had wine during a class. Some good food will be there and of course, you can’t beat the free wine can you? To RSVP give Hartland Park a call at 773-935-0523.

I’m pretty excited for my very first movie in the park experience and to top it off, they’re playing Iron Man. In case you have no idea where Kinzie Park is, it’s located at Kinzie and DesPlaines Streets in the Fulton River District. The movie starts at dusk which, according to weather.com, is at 7:56PM. Nothing says movie in the park like smuggling beer or wine in a water bottle!

Union Row’s upcoming 2nd Fridays event is taking place on Friday, July 10th so we can’t wait to see you there! 2nd Fridays take place in the Chicago Arts District where dozens of unique art galleries open their doors to the public to showcase their hard work. What’s even better is that everything is free…unless you buy a piece of art, and the galleries always have some free wine and food too.

Normally, Belgravia Group’sUnion Row Townhomes teams up with Lush Wine & Spirits for a wine seminar but we decided to switch it up a bit and have a beer tasting. I, for one, am excited! The beer tasting will take place at Union Row’s model home, located at 644 W. 16th Street, and will go from 7:00pm -8:30pm. Like always, there will be good food and the seminars are free which is a perfect reason to invite friends to come along with you. If you plan on attending, just give Union Row a call at 312-829-4600 to RSVP.

These 2nd Friday’s art walks are located in the Chicago Arts District. At these art walks, dozens of different galleries open their doors to the public where you can literally walk in and take a look at some pretty unique art. Sometimes, the galleries will even have some more wine and food for visitors.

The event is totally free which is a perfect excuse to invite your friends and family…plus the weather is supposed to be really nice…another reason to go. If you do plan on stopping by, give Union Row a call at 312-829-4600.

Why: Because it’s free, and there’s wine…what else do you need to know?!

Please feel free to invite your friends and family because everyone is invited. If you have any questions or would like to RSVP to the event, give Union Row a call at 312-829-4600. If you are unable to attend this month’s wine seminar, don’t worry, they take place on the fourth Thursday of every month at Union Row Townhomes.

Again, this is a free event so bring your friends and family with. It’s always a fun time and you will even walk away with a bit of knowledge about wine at the end of the night. Hartland Park II’s sales center is open 7 days a week from 10am – 6pm so stop in to take a look or give them a call at (773) 935-0523!
